What Vegans Eat

Hello! This ones a good ‘un. The first in the series of What Vegans Eat to feature a couple 🙂 I met Kate a few years ago at our local gardening group and we hit it off straight away. Can’t wait to visit Murasaki for a Kate and Thomas special Vegan feast! Over to them…

Name: Kate and Thomas

Age: Kate – 36 Thomas – 31

Occupation: Kate – carer, Thomas – data scientist

Vegan Since: Thomas vegan since 2004, Kate vegetarian since 2015 (teetering on the edge of veganism).

We feel very lucky to now reside so close to Brighton, where plant-based cuisine is everywhere you look. I’d say Japanese food is my absolute favourite—Murasaki In Brighton is our go to for a Japanese fix. Thomas loves Middle Eastern food—Sunbirds Deli is one of our favourite places for a quick and delicious lunch.

We regularly visit our vegan-friendly village greengrocer for foodie inspiration and to top-up on guilty pleasures like Vegenaise and tofu wieners. We like to try new recipes as often as we can and we’re slowly working through the hundreds of tasty looking recipes we’ve gradually collected in our shared Evernote food notebook. I don’t think we could live without tofu, aubergines, courgettes, cucumber, red onion, garlic or dark chocolate. Thankfully we don’t have to!

I’d say that this was a pretty standard food week for us. We wanted to make the most of the sunny weather and resisted the urge to eat out, choosing instead to eat in the garden most evenings.

About Me

Hello! Welcome to my blog. I’m Gabriella and I’m a half English, half Italian 29 year old that likes to Mangiare Bene. I started Mangia Bene because I wanted to share my family recipes through stories. My blog has always had an emphasis on a vegetarian diet, but now focuses solely on plant based food. Why? For the Animals. For the Planet. For Health.
